The POWER of a TRUE STORY.

AYA (Asian Youth Ambassador) Awards 2009 happened last night!

5th year running, AYA is about our future - and the people who are farsighted enough to invest in it. It is to encourage individuals to emerge and responsible institutions to persevere in their dreams of improving the quality of life for themselves and for those around them, in spite of the difficulty and obstacles they encounter.

This year is my first year attending the AYA Awards. It was inspiring to hear those true stories. It left me feeling like, "WOW, if they can do this. I can too!"

Here's sNgX Dance team! They were real entertaining.

Our two awesome MCs of the night, Dave Yeow (ACTS Campus Patoral Intern!) and Victoria Ong.

Beloved Pastor Kenneth Chin and also founder of AYA, giving a speech here.

The Partners and Sponsors. Thank you, 8TV, NST, Malaysiakini, In.Deed., KLPac, Creative Clicks, TrioMobile and others. Above all, thank You Lord! :):)

Our very own Lightbulb Production. WOOTS! :)

Here's the winner for Youth Friendly Company 2009:

AFS Antarabudaya Malaysia

Ps. Kenneth's Chin-up talk show. I love this part of the event. :)

The winner for 'Most Outstanding Youth of the Year 2009':

Yeoh Chen Chow! Congrats!! :)

Last performance of the night:

Mia Palencia, and the AYA Choir. I love her song 'Catalyst of Creed'. (If I'm not mistaken.)

...

Whee! This is the ACTS Church family! ...Well a small quarter of them were there. We had a great organising team and ever-awesome 160 volunteers who made this event run smoothly.

And, God. Yes you deserve all glory, because you made it ALL happen. Thank You! :):)

I want a...

Yes. That!

Isn't it preeetttyyyy...? *yearns/desires strongly/desperate?*

Condition of current phone: ARGH! ISH! URGH! @#$!%^$#@!!

Please excuse the 'detailed' description of condition. Yea, you get the idea. ...Right?

It seems so impossible to own one. But "all things are possible". HEH! :p

It tends to feel pretty lonely at the front.

It's scary when you're on choppy waters, facing fierce waves.

Charting the way for others to take over.

But know this, God is with you.

"Never will I leave you, nor forsake you.", He said. (Joshua 1:5)

"I have zero confidence in myself but unlimited confidence when obeying what God has clearly commanded all of us to do." - Rick Warren

I feel like...

...I'm in this tangled web that I spun. But, it's actually not that complicating. Just take two steps back and in another glance, you see a beautiful mess.

This is silly.

I should not be feeling clouded and flustered. But I am.

I should not be beating myself up, because I didn't reach my expectations. But I am.

I am disappointed.

I am my biggest critic.

What I need to do right now, is to not be so caught up with those fluster of thought bubbles and be focusing on what is on the table. Set me free from the 'I can't' and instill the 'I can', Lord.

Anyways, it's Week Twelve. The workload is getting heavy, and many other things happening. Time management is KEY. Trying hard, I am.

I need Your direction and assurance. "Your peace that surpasses all understanding" (Phil 4:7), will get me there.

...

It rained today, making my bedroom so chilly and cool. Was so tempted to dive under my duvet and sleep, but I had to finish a part of the assignment before heading to HOMES.

*reminds self: it's Week Twelve.*

Something B.I.G. is coming!

Are YOU gonna be there?! I AM!

This is so cute!

Well done, Chern Liang for the concept!

Well done, ACTS TV. For shooting it so beautifully. :)

Henry and Shu Yen, you both so cute laaa...


To all the teens, what are you waiting for?? Sign up now! I'll help you.

God is here to stay.

"No one will be able to stand up against you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you." (Joshua 1:5)

No comment or act will stop me from doing God's Work. They may be there to discourage me, but I come out STRONGER.

"Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go." (Joshua 1:9)

I will fear nothing. Why should I in the first place? God is all for me. :)

He ♥ the lil' punies...

Thought: I'm so puny compared to Him, but He still ♥ puny lil' me unconditionally.

HEH! *beams*

Man, I'm so in ♥ right now! HAHA.

Happy Birthday, ....

...Tian Pei Yi a.k.a. Bunny!!

Us, in our 'honeymoon' in Avillion PD.

I don't remember when was this, but I remember where it was taken. It was in high school! :)

...

Y'all must be wondering why 'Bunny'. I think I'm also called 'Bunny' and for some reason, 'Egg'?

Pei Yi, refresh my memory. Correct or not? You're called 'Salt' right?

ANYWAYS!

Have a great day and a blessed year!

Love you heaps!

God bless you abundantly! :)

I can BREATHE! ....

Three more to go! "Thank You for the confidence and assurance that everything is in Your Hands." :)

...

It was an awesome time in ACTS yesterday. We got to read Psalm 23 in a different perspective. It opened my eyes and broadened my mind to see who God really is. He is amazingly beautiful, and I don't get why people don't accept Him. His Word is truly eye-opening, perspective-changing, and spirit-reviving! Man, I will never want to miss church services in ACTS!

Praise Report: 887 people attended ACTS and 3 salvations yesterday. 254 people at 4pm Service, by which 166 people are campus students! ACTS is GROWING! All glory to Him!!

I pray ACTS will be THE church that not only grows to thousands, but also mobilize the thousands to bring thousands more into His kingdom. God, may You use ACTS Church; help us not to limit You with our minds, and teach us to think BIGGER! Thank You. :)

...

I got to know yesterday, that some teens from Church were inspired by my testimony - to put God first before anything else, even assignments/exams. Wow, I never thought about this before, and it hit me right there and then that the teens are looking up to us, campus students. Note: To all ACTS Campus Leaders, set a good example! :)

Hey ACTS Teens, whatever I'm struggling with in life, I'm doing it for you. So that I'll have more testimonies to inspire you with. I pray that it'll inspire you to live an inspiring life. So that you'll have your own testimonies, and inspire others with it. ♥ you, Teens! :)

Our 1st Multiplied HOMES = SJ1 + SJ2

Thought: Eventhough you don't get what you want/expect, don't start blaming God. But start seeking Him to help you find the way in order to find something 'immeasurably more than all you ask for or imagine" (Ephesians 3:20) at the end of the road. You'll find a testimony, and it's going to impact and empower people who hears it.

I want powerful, God-factored testimonies. :)

...

We had our first multiplied HOMES today! It's a good thing that we're multiplying, and expecting to multiply some more in the near future.

We targeted 30 people for each HOMES. So here's the celebration point: 31 people in SJ1 and 33 people in SJ2! Despite the expectation of having 74 people tonight, nevertheless praise God for what He has done and doing.

Thought: Sometimes I think people enjoy having the existence of UNNECESSARY drama in their lives, despite the many already-existing, REAL problems in their lives. Wake up please!

Sorry for such a frank start, but people really ought to pick up their senses, and get real. "Everything is permissible" - but not everything is beneficial nor constructive." (1 Corinthians 10:23) So please, get a hold of yourself. Start doing something about it, rather than whining/complaining/blaming and waste OUR efforts on helping you to get your life back on track. Note: Not pointing at one person, but a number of them.

We care for you, but this is how far our knees and feet can go. You have to surrender ...to Him. Won't you do that?

God, TCPJ needs alot of pruning!

...

On the 'brighter' side of things, I have many assignments due next week. Here's the checklist:

1. EC Essay (due 19.10.09)
2. EC Script (due 19.10.09)
3. CCS Presentation (due 20.10.09)
4. PR Report (due 21.10.09)
5. CRR Video Presentation (due 22.10.09)

And then, there's SJ2 HOMES tomorrow night and whole Sunday in ACTS. Wow wheee....! *overwhelmed*

Despite the tight schedule, I will not give God any less BUT my best. No way will I, "tone it down a little".

"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." (Phil 4:13)

That means, ABLE to go to church and STILL finish my assignments on time and do it well. "Persevere, and you will not lack anything." (James 1:4)

...a testimony's brewing! :)

It is time.

We're timid people, aren't we. Once we're asked to step out from our comfort zone and step into supernatural, we freeze and get scared.

I admit, it is pretty scary. When we get to muster every courage that we have in us; take that step of faith, yet we still look back and might fall back to where we started.

I fell back many times, but this time it felt different. I got into a moment of clarity 4 months ago in Revolution Conference, and asked to "step up". And I did. I looked back many times, but He said, "don't give up, because after 6 years of being a Christian, this is my year to step up". I've always desired to go to church specifically ACTS, and I finally said, "Enough's enough!"

"God honors those who honor Him." And He did honor me in return, all in His perfect timing.

It was a privilege to share my testimony in church at Prayer Service last night, and I prayed that the testimony will inspire and encourage people to rise up to their destiny and fulfill the purpose that God has for them.

Despite the past two months of hardship and struggle, I have "not lacked anything", but gained everything. I tell you this, it is all worthwhile... Praise God! :)

ACTS TV Announcement 11/10/09

Hey EVERYONE!
Here's this week's ACTS TV announcement.

Do check out the part where they promote ACTS Teens' Camp - The New Normal. It was cute and funny laaa...

Well done, ACTS TV! You guys are awesome!

Have a great week, people! :)

A statement that changed my life forever: "You will never walk in the fear of the Lord until you lose the fear of men."

Question: What is the name of your greatest fear in life?

You're made a son/daughter in Christ, and He has given you the "authority to rule all over the earth". (Genesis 1:26-28) So take that authority and rule over fear, in order to come into the fullness of God.

"He will cover you with His feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart. You'll not fear the terror of the night, nor the arrows that flies by day, nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness, nor the plague that destroys by midday."

- Psalm 91:4-6

He's faithful. Trust Him, will you? :)
